✦ Synopsis

Use of MMSE to differentiate Alzheimer's disease from dementia with Lewy bodies Dear Editor

Like Dr Ala and his colleagues (Ala et al., 2002), we have encountered patients with pathologically confirmed dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) who retro-spectively scored < 5 on the Ala MMSE subscore test (Doran and Larner, 2004, case 1). Hence, like them, we have hoped that this might be a useful diagnostic test for DLB and might assist in the differential diagnosis of DLB from Alzheimer's disease (AD).
